Pear and 5 Spice Spritzer

Pear and 5 Spice Spritzer

Reducing waste in the kitchen is easy when you have a delicious cocktail on the other side of it! Instead of discarding the juice from a can of pears down the drain, combine it with a bit of Chinese 5 Spice and sugar for a unique cocktail you won’t forget.

2 oz Wheyward Spirit 

3/4 oz fresh squeezed lemon juice 

2 1/4 oz Pear and 5 Spice Syrup 

Club soda

Combine Wheyward Spirit, lemon juice, and syrup into a shaker with ice and shake to combine. Serve in a highball glass over crushed ice and top with club soda to taste. Garnish with star anise.

‍

*Pear and 5 Spice Syrup

1 cup pear juice, drained from a can of pears in juice 

1 cup white sugar 

2 tsp Chinese 5 Spice blend

Add all ingredients to a small pot on medium heat. Cook until just bubbling while stirring and allow to cool on the stove. Strain through cheesecloth or a fine mesh strainer and store in an airtight container.

Alpine Daiquiri

This cocktail offers a fresh take on the classic Carajillo, blending the bold flavors of Wheyskey with rich espresso to create a drink with a deep coffee and creamy wood profile. It is crowned with a light, vanilla-forward custard foam that adds a soft, sweet contrast to the strong coffee base.

Wheyward Spirit’s sustainability efforts don’t stop with the spirit. The Waste Not Sour reflects our values of upcycling and reducing food waste whenever possible by using aquafaba in place of egg whites, and zesting lemon for garnish before using the fresh juice. The result is a creamy, foamy, and sustainable cocktail so you can feel good about what’s in your glass down to the last drop.

Waste Not Sour

One of our favorite cocktails with a Wheyward Spirit twist is the La Mucca Negroni! Whether you like it sweet and delicate or big and bold, treat yourself to a classic cocktail with herbal, orange, and spice notes.
